This expansion is led by chairman, Chris Wearing and president, Alex Pigliucci. Simon Bones, managing partner of Credo, commented on the announcement: “This represents a tremendously exciting moment for our firm, our clients and staff.

“The combination of Teneo and Credo’s advisories will create a truly differentiated proposition for our clients and an excellent platform for growth.”
